This course will help you reach a high level of expertise and qualification in contemporary design and art. You will develop creative and professional skills through studies in cross- and inter-disciplinary design and art practice.

In this course you will learn through discussion, reflection and the production of original and innovative solutions to studio-based or industry-related projects.
